John and Margaret (Wotring) Felton

John Felton was born in Maryland January 30, 1804, the son of JohQ and Mary (McHen­ry) Felton. The early Feltons had come to America from England and settled in Massa­chusetts. The Feltons migrated to Preston Co., WV, where in September 1825 John Felton married Margaret Wotring. Margaret was born July 20, 1808 in West Virginia, the daughter of Abraham and Mary Smith Wotring. The Wotring name has been spelled many different ways since the first Wotrings came to America in 1733.

Margaret and John would leave West Virginia and migrate to Warren Co., lA in 1854. They settled in Virginia Twp. Their home became the first home built in New Virginia. It was a one-room log house with a lower roofed room or attic above. All of John and Margaret's children were born in West Virginia· and would settle in or around New Virginia, also. They numbered ten:

1. Jahue Felton, born August 5, 1827; died December 13, 1867. He served in the Civil War from 1861 to 1865. He married Martha

Baker, and two daughters were born to this union. They were Clara (Felton) Doyton, and Laura (Felton) Knapp.

2. Elizabeth Felton, born October 4, 1828; died December 3, 1885. Elizabeth married Enoch Sayre in 1851 in West Virginia. The couple had ten children, eight being born in West Virginia and two in Iowa. They were Harriet (Sayre) Ludington, Mary M. (Sayre) Howell, Matilda J. (Sayre) Keller, Gideon Sayre, Sarah L. Sayre, John Sayre, William F. Sayre, Waitman Sayre, Minnie E. (Sayre) Anderson, and Alonzo E. Sayre.

3. Abraham Felton, born October 30, 1831; died in 1898. Abraham married first Mary Mcintosh, and second Ellen Smith. He fathered a total of eleven children.

4. Julia A. Felton, born July 4, 1835; died November 4, 1869. She married J.F. Knotts in 1855, this being the first marriage in New Virginia, IA. The couple had three sons and one daughter who died in infancy. The three sons were Joseph Knotts, Lemuel W. Knotts, and John A. Knotts.

5. Matilda Felton, born in 1837; died August 1, 1907. Matilda married W.C. Strock in 1859. They had five children: Irene (Strock) Trobaugh, Estella (Strock) Read, John T. Strock, Mary (Strock) Davidson, and Ollie Strock.

6. William Felton, born May 17,1840; died July 25, 1903. William served in the Civil War with the lOth Iowa Infantry, and was very badly wounded. After returning from the war, he married Mary E. Porter in 1865. They had three children: Lola (Felton) Olney, Orza E. Felton, and Cassius Felton.

7. Susan Jane Felton, born August 17, 1842; died September 1923. She married Asa Fleming in · 1863. The couple had nine children: Ella (Fleming) Coltrane, Jessie J. Fleming, J. Wesley Fleming, Gaybrella (Fleming) Mitchell, Everette Fleming, Wal­ter Fleming, Harry Fleming, and two children who died in infancy.

8. John B. Felton, born February 17, 1843; died January 31, 1903. John married Rhoda Jones in 1871. The couple had five children: Pearl Felton, Earl Felton, Carl C. Felton, Estella B. (Felton) Bishoff, and Alma (Fel­ton) Braucht.

9. Zachariah T. Felton, born November 7, 1848; died September 10, 1923. Z. T . married Sarah McManus in 1881. They had three children: John Felton, Anzel Felton, and Harold Felton.

10. Sarah Margaret Felton, born February 17, 1853; died March 2, 1911. She married James P. Jones, and the couple had four children: Gordon Jones, Essie (Jones) Wolf, Ward Jones, and Roy Jones.

John and Margaret may have had three other children who died in infancy.

From the book "The Feltons" written by E. J. Anderson, Ollie Strock and A.E. Sayre, we can gain an insight into the early life of the Feltons in New Virginia. It is told that John Felton was a man of good education for his day, as there were no free schools at that time. Margaret was called Peggy. and her duties as a pioneer wife and mother were many. She had nine people to feed three times a day; meals that were prepared over an open fire. Ninety percent of all family clothing was made in the home. Grease lamps or tallow candles had to be made, also, so Margaret's days were filled with many house­hold chores. The book tells us that Margaret always wore a cap, that she had t·lue eyes and

dark hair. She was crippled from a broken hip. She had no use for tobacco, while at least two of her nieces enjoyed smoking their corncob pipes. Margaret would have around her in the new area she and John pioneered, her children and grandchildren as well as her two sisters, Mary Anne Wotring Thompson, and Sarah Wotring Harsh. John Felton passed away March 27, 1882. Margaret followed September 4, 1895. Both are buried among their kin in the New Virginia Ceme­tery. Cindy Cooper, a Felton descendant, has a quilt that Margaret Felton carried from West Virginia to her new home in New Virginia, lA.

RUNCIMAN FAMILY F891

Elizabeth Rebecca (Morgan) wife of John Wood Runciman and their daughters: L clockwise: Mary, Bessie, Caroline and Gladys. Taken about 1910.

The Runciman family probably came into the Lowlands of Scotland from England. They were nunierous as early as 1595 along the Firth of Forth, mostly engaged in sea faring activities. Alexander Runciman, son of a builder in Edinburgh, born in 1736, was an artist of considerable note. Artistic talent is common among the descendants of Thomas Runciman, founder of the Warren Co. branch. One second great granddaughter, Leota Hobbs, has work in private collections, won numerous prizes in competitions and was one of the assistants of Jean Charlot in Painting the Fresco at the Des Moines Art Center.

Thomas Runciman became an agricultural worker, in E. Lothian and Berwickshire. He was born in 1791 in Dunbar, was living in Spott at the time of his marriage, the 5th December 1812, to Mary Redpath, who was of the parish of Bunkie and Preston. She was living in the parish of Innerwick, at the time of marriage; her brother John acting as

John Wood. Runciman and his two sons Joseph, driving the team, and Thomas, on the engine behind his father. Taken early 1900s. · ·

Cautioner to the bride, and Thomas Runci­man, father of the groom for him; Twin daughters, Mary and Jean, were born, 30 April1821, at Thurston Mains, New Bigging, E. Lothian and a son William, 16 April1828 in Berwickshire. Mary and Thomas settled at the historic town of Coldstream, on the river Tweed, and it was there William received his education and grew to manhood.

· the 22nd of March 1850 sister Mary and I Wood were married in the parish of

CoJdstream and embarked on a ·honeymoon to America, coming to Columbiana Co., OH where they lived for two years. In the fall of 1852, they -came to Allen Twp., Warren Co., IA, where he acquired 120 Acres in Sections 18 and 7, east of the Scotch Ridge Church and Cemetery. There he and his wife are buried. He held various township offices and helped organize the Scotch Ridge Church.

A longing for adventure and the economic opportunities of America beckoned William, who also sailed to thenew world. It was a long and stormy voyage of thirty-two days; but that was long enough for a ship-board romance to blossom between him and Eliz-abeth Hastie. ·

Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Philip Hastie and Janet Mann, was born and reared in the Lammermuir Hills of E. Lothian and Ber­wickshire, until she went into service as a dairy maid. She left the household of the Marquis of Breada1bane, sailing· to America to keep house for brothers William and Andrew who were working on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Elizabeth was thrifty; she brought with her, savings from her years of service, a small compass in a mahogany case and three great chests of linens, clothing, pillows, and all the paraphernalia of the young girls hope chest at that time. Her hope was realized when she met William Runci­m"n, and they were married 11 December

in Ravenna, OH. They came to Warren \. che following year, purchased land and soon had a snug home in a small log cabin in Allen Twp. southwest of Carlisle.

William was ambitious and embued with a civic spirit. The first citizens naturalized in the county, so far as shown by the records, were James Sherry and William Hastie, at the

October term of Court of 1854 . . John Wood. and William Runciman were next naturalized in 1856, at the March term. He held the office of township treasurer a number of times, was one of the first members of the boara of . Commissioners in 1862 !md represented this district in the States Fifteenth General , Assembly during the years 1874 and 1875. Nor did he neglect his spiritual .duties. In the . Scotch Ridge Sessions Book 1, we read "The · Summerset United Presbyterian Congrega-' tion was organized the 3rd Sabbath of April 1853 by the Reverend David Lindsay at the home of William Runciman". Present also were his wife, Elizabeth Hastie; . his sister Mary and husband John Wood; William and Andrew Hastie; William Vance and wife and John McElroy and wife, as original members. The name was later changed to Sco.tch Ridge. The sacrament was administered. William's church letter dated 28 March 1850 reads, "William Runciman, a member of the United Presbyterian Congregation of Coldsteam, leaves us as of the above date in full communion. Signed by Adam Thomson, D.D. Senior Minister of the U.P. Congregation Coldsteam.• His wife's letter is a bit more cautious. It is dated 11 October 1848, at Kenmore. "The bearer Elizabeth Hastie has been a communicant in the Free Church Congregation, Kenmore since June 1843 and leaves at this date in full communion with the Free Church of Scotland and with an irre­proachable moral character so far as is known to us. Peter Murray, Elder and Elder A. Sinclair, Minister". In the autumn of 1853 Certificates of admission from the U.P . Church of Scotland were received for Thomas Hastie, younger brother of Elizabeth; his wife Georgina Henderson Cowie and her mother Mary Cowie. "On October 13, 1877, the Session met and was constituted with prayer by the Reverend .J. Boyd, moderator, with all the membership present. The Session admit­ted E.D. Hastie, .Janet Runciman and Mary Runciman to membership by examination." The latter two were daughters of William and Elizabeth Hastie Runciman.

In the mid-fifties William's father and mother, Thomas and Mary Redpath Runci­man took up their abode in the little log

cabin, on their son's farm. Mary succumbed to a fever, as recorded in the Federal Mortality Schedule for 1860, on the 6th July 1859. She is reported to be the second person buried in the Scotch Ridge Cemetery. Follow­ing Mary's death Thomas yearned for his native land, his other daughter and grand­children and returned to Scotland.

By the time the William's parents arrived from Scotland, William had a new four room house ready for occupancy; although they waited for the return of the boys in the War of the Rebellion to do the plastering. Native lumber was used for the construction of the house with the exception of one pine floor. The rest of the flooring was of six inch oak boards and the woodwork including dining room corner cupboards was of walnut. These displayed Elizabeth's Sandwich glass Lions Head compote; Diana at the Hunt pitcher and other crystal. The dining table and chairs · were of cherry wood. The chairs, Windsor type, design, had sturdy two inch thick comfortably contoured seats. Many of her beautiful articles are still in the family; but following the death of -daughter Mary, who remained unmarried, thieves broke into the home and removed all that was left of value,

. . including the· corner cupboards. · ·.• William, in keeping with the custom of the

time, was able to deed fifty or fifty-five acres oflan and help them uild homes, when his children married. His second purchase of land is .registered in Vol. 8, page 57 at Iowa City.lt was part of the Ohio Land Grant. He paid $1.25 an acre for a warranty deed from He~ry' J. Booth on 16th January 1857. William d Elizabeth had the following children: Janet (Jennie) who married Thom­as McDonald; Mary, who remained un­married and lived in the home until her death 29 January 1929; Henry William married Martha Emma Kennedy 11 Septemoer 1877 in Madison Co; Elizabeth married Martin C. Maxwell 11 September 1877; John, born 28 August 1860 died in infancy; and John Wood Runciman who married Elizabeth Morgan, from Cass Co., IL. John Wood, William and Elizabeth Maxwell had adjoining farms in Section 13, Greenfield Twp. just west of the Scotch Ridge Church. The latter two families moved to Fowler, Fresno, CA about 1885.

After Elizabeth Maxwell moved, her sister Jennie lived on her 55 acres, with her daughter Florence McDonald, while the husband and father, Thomas traveled the world as a ship captain. Florence married Edward Grant, farmer, and they had two sons, Donald Edwin born 8 April 1901 who married Margaret Dorothy Smith, and Ralph V. who died in 1924, unmarried. Donald and Margaret had one daughter, Barbara Jean, who married Gerald Edward Korn, writer, editor and journalist, and they live in New York.

.John Wood Runciman remained in Warren Co., except for a few yean1 in Des Moines. He was farmer, trapper and engineer. Wild life was plentiful even into the early part of the twentieth century, and wild fowl aided the larder, while furs brought cash. ,John had especially beautiful fox furs made into muffs and neck furs for each of his daughters. He purchased a separator and Woods engine and each year toured and thrashed the farmers stacked grain. The bridges on the narrow country roads had not been built for the weight' of the engine, and one broke, injuring John. The broken leg mended but he re-

RUNDLE, JAMES F. F892

Lola, Kathy, Tom ,and Jini Rundllo).

Jim and Lola Rundle were married at the First United Presbyterian Church in India­nola, lA. on September 7, 1958. They then moved to Iowa City, lA where Jim would become a dental student at the University of Iowa. At that time they would have never dreamed that someday they would make

·· · t heir home ba.ck in indianola. Jim was born and raised on a farm near · Paton, lA. His parents are Thomas Nelson Rundle · and Dorothy Mabe'' Rundle/ Mter graduating from Paton High School in 1953 he attended Luther College in Decorah, lA. for one year. Htdhen entered the armed forces from 1954 to 1956. After getting out of the Army Jim enrolled at the University of Iowa. Jim and I met while attending school at the Univer­sity. I had been raised in Indianola, Lola Miller. My parents wer e Hap and Opal Miller. I graduated from high school in 1956 and attended both the University of Iowa and Simpson College.

Jim and I moved to In dianola in June of 1962 to set up our home and to begin the practice of dentistry. Jim had purchased the dental practice of Dr. G.A. Grant.

Our first child Tom was born July 21, 1960 while we were living in Iowa City, lA. Our daughter Kathy was born May 9, 1963 in Des Moines, lA. Like most parents of children we all kept busy with many school events. Tom was interested mainly in· sports and kept us all quite busy attending games of football, baseball and basketbalL Kathy was more involved with music and drama throughout her high school years, therefore we were quite fortunate to get to be in volved with a well rounded slate of activities.

Jim served on many community commit-

tees such as Little League Board, Park and Recreation Board, nine years on the Indiano­la School Board, Warren County 2000, Indianola Development Commission, church and many Dental Association committees. I kept busy with church activities, garden club, and working at the office.

After Tom and Kathy graduated from high school, Jim and I found a new interest we enjoyed very much together, bike riding. After a busy day at the office there was nothing more fun than to jump on our bicycles and ride for mil~s. We got involved with riding on Ragbrai and the Central Iowa Bike Ride and spent many days riding across Iowa and camping in our tents at night. When Jim wasn't busy pedalling his bike in his spare time you could usually fmd him out with his bees. Jim enjoys keeping bees very much, as of now he has approximately 15 hives scattered around Warren County. In the fall, at harvest time, he is busy bottling "Dr. Jim~s- Warren County Honey" and giving it to many of his friends and family.

In 1984 Jim and I built a new Dental Office at 200 North "B" Street. Much hard work and planning went into this new building, but now it is a joy to go to work in such a nice facility.

Our son Tom, graduated from high school in 1979, entered Luther College for one year and then went into the Air Force for a period of four years. He is presently attending college at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX.

Our daughter Kathy, graduated from high school in 1981. She then attended the University of South Dakota for two years, attended DMACC for one and a - half years and received her CDA Degree. At present she is working and living in Des Moines, lA. and is still attending classes in the evening.
